Canadian motorist hits moose, loses memory, yet makes it to work on time

We will cop to having arrived at work suffering from memory loss, but never from hitting a moose. At least not that we can remember, anyway.

It's a story that verily defines "news of the weird," courtesy of CNN: A Canadian woman not only hit a moose with her car on her way to work, she drove some 25 miles after the collision, unaware that she had struck the beast. But this was no glancing blow. The force of the impact killed the moose, but not before it had shattered the windshield and peeled back the roof of the Michelle Higgins' Chrysler Sebring.

The woman was traveling on the Trans-Canada Highway in Newfoundland, according to the report, when the accident occurred. When Higgins arrived at work – on time, mind you – she had blood streaming down her face and was unaware of what had transpired. Her injuries included two broken bones in her neck, bruises, a hoof print on her forehead... and memory loss. Scroll down to watch the remarkable video report from CNN.

Talk about subconscious driving.
I have seen some claiming she is faking when the news broke in Canada, but I don't think so.
What she is saying is consistent with a head injury.
It must have been incredibly weird for her in the moment when her coworker told her she was in an accident and she looked at her car.

This is truly a miracle story. Moose are a very real hazard on the highways, particulary in Newfoundland because there are SOOO many. Enough of the smart cracks; poor moose ,poor car my foot you need to understand !!!! Contrary to another comment, predators have nothing to do with the moose problem. They are NOT native to Newfoundland and have NO predators there. Its a true life story--- when animals (or plants) get introduced to a place 'they're not meant to be' they get out of hand.
I'm a fellow Canadian who had whitre knuckles the whole time we were on the highway.
